The answer is False.

Explanation: A conclusion paragraph does more than just recap the main points of an essay. While summarizing the key arguments or points discussed in the essay is an important component, a well-crafted conclusion should also:

  1. Restate the Thesis: Reiterate the main argument or thesis statement of the essay in a new way to reinforce the central idea.
  2. Synthesize Information: Show how the points made in the body of the essay come together to support the thesis, rather than just listing them.
  3. Provide Closure: Offer a sense of closure to the reader, ensuring that the essay feels complete and the argument has been fully developed.
  4. Implications and Future Directions: Sometimes, a conclusion might also discuss the broader implications of the argument, suggest further research, or propose actions based on the essay's findings.

For example, if an essay discusses the impact of climate change on polar bears, the conclusion might summarize the main points, restate the thesis about the urgency of addressing climate change, synthesize how the evidence supports this urgency, and perhaps suggest policy changes or further areas of study.

Thus, while recapping main points is a part of a conclusion, it is not the only requirement.
